aw :( sad pic but I like to idea here

Oh no...
Are you ok?

Looks like it's time to re-evaluate things.

awwww *hugs tight*

This... Is a very powerful piece. That's about the best I can describe how I feel about it.

When it happens, the best idea is to simply stop searching...or change key word.
I did: I had lots of sentimental delusions, so I said "Let's have only fun".
Few months after this decision (and no sex more) I just fell in love with my wonderful  lordferalina12.
I wish you the best, hun :3 *hugs and nibbles the nose*

Yeah yeah all those happy-go-lucky "I resigned and just after that I found my very special somebody"-stories.
It's just luck... and some people don't have it in certain areas.

I fully agree with this.
Love -and life in general- isn't just that easy.

Of course it isn't. Life is hard. Really fucking hard. But perspective is absolutely everything when it comes to moving forward because not only are your own actions affected by your perspective (which everyone already knows/assumes), but the actions of others *toward* you are as well. A positive outlook is met with positive reaction.
Of course it's okay to be sad or upset or miserable, but recovering quickly and looking forward is, at least in my own experience, endlessly important.

As far as I can see it, life is not "happy". For countless generations, life was literally miserable. "Joy" was so sparse it is the topic of many ancient phrases, like "Oh joy!" "What joyful, i.e. what a rare precious day" etc.
Even today, life is mostly a chain of duties both self smithed or obliged, and we all have to function in our individual societies. Just to make our system work, our brain sends out "happy" heralds now and then to convince the body that it would be worthy to continue.
Just the African and the American cultures think that it is the primary essence of life to be happy, to enjoy the moment and life being an endless party. It is interesting that the latter society was strongly mangled with the primary since the 1950ies while the early US citicens had a different, european/protestant view. Otherwise, the whole "Go West" would have been never accomplished, as the life in the Frontier was a miserable one as well.
Just saying, it is a normal state to be worried, unhappy, to feel disappointed and sad. It is an essential part of life. Do never feel pushed to seal that feelings or hide them behind a mask of hysteric happiness. And never take drugs to be falsely happy.

I understand, still it's great to help people to not loose hope.

I agree with the other guys here. I'm going on year 12 of no-longer-looking.
It's gotten bad enough that I have three cats and a budget allotment for wine.

Oh you poor thing. Once you get cats, it's all over from there.

Joking aside, perhaps you should start looking? Join a singles club.

The best kind of love is not searched for. :3

^

Wow. I feel bad for you.
You're picking a fight with someone over the internet, over...a silly comment about love that is very obvious if it's ever happened to you but you clearly don't understand, so...
Well to answer your question, you can fall in love with someone without having to go on dating sites and advertise yourself and expressly search for someone to love. You can just...meet someone whom you click with and naturally fall in love. That's what I'm referring to. That's what happened to my boyfriend and I, and we're running on..what, 6 years now, I think. I sure as hell wasn't looking, either.
What I mean by "The best kind of love is not searched for" is that the best kind of love is the one that happens naturally, where two people just mesh together so easily.

Yeah, because responding to a perfectly innocent comment with a ham-fisted disagreement is totally not instigating.

Wow, you're dim. I'm not going to waste my time with you and your toughguy act.

Haha you got one of those too?

Tis one of the risks of leaving any comment other than "nice pic bro".

Goddamnit, why do we still not have a "like" button? :D

That's actually quite profound, and I agree.

And once you're done preparing, you realize that social interactions lose any incentive at that point.

Can always just work towards the next best thing, a small army and an island nation...then mutant clones.

I have 2 ccats, 29 gecko's, 14 snakes, 2 monitor lizards, 8 frogs, bugs, and an alligator snapping turtle. Needless to say i'll carry on to never have any real human contact ;_;

Seems about right.
Didn't need that love and compassion anyway

here a complete heart =3

Everything alright? 😧

This picture has a lot of feeling in it!
so sad

I know that feeling...

You alright hun?

Sad piece... I hope there is no background behind it :/

awww, you okay? :c

Something about people hiding behind "positive" or "silly" emoticons in thoughtless comments that are taken to heart by the artist, and hurt? I dunno, I was always terrible at deciphering art. But it's certainly a strong scene depicted.

It's a good way of deciphering the image. I actually didn't thought about it...
I thought it was something relationship related...

I figured it was more representative of people wearing masks to take what they want.

One could argue each paper mask is a persona and Zaush is in the center in fursona form is having strife from people on the internet. People are uncaring and fearless behind a keyboard so this is my take on this image.

That's sort of what I was getting at, I think it kinda makes more sense that way, bit less of forcing meaning out of a metaphor, maybe.

Zaush clarified below it was about friends so we were in the right direction,just with the wrong people. Still sad though.

that's kinda ironic

How so?

Karma

I think I'm missing something here.

Google "Zaush" and you'll find out why this is ironic.

Still not really seeing it.

I find it strange how 1 can surf the internet 4 furry smut and furry art but 1 fails in knowing how to research anything. Here's a hint, check the "Controversy" and "References" sections.
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Adam_Wan#Controversy

I did see that. Also noticed the only two things that have any evidence at all are that someone on a forum said that what he did might be rape (and having read her account, it's not, not even in California) and that he denied allegations.

Make sure to check out the OTHER link when Googling his name. It'll be the 2nd result. Glad I don't live in the state of California and of course he would deny allegations against him, though even if he admitted to it it would still be accepted and no 1 would care.

His twitter? I'm failing to see anything that seems to be what you'd want me to see, there.

California laws are some of the toughest, but the definition of rape does vary from state to state as there's no federal statute or definition.

No. I guess what comes up as the 2nd result 4 me differs from what others get via Google search. Wow, no wonder why there's a serious problem with Rape, a simple definition varies from state to state. *facepalm*

Encyclopedia Dramatica is NOT a reliable source of information.

Pretty sure those screencaps ARE NOT fake.

Faking an FA journal isn't exactly difficult by any means. Can't take read them, though, since some are only thumbnails and there's so many ads. Which one did you have in mind?

Yea, there's a few on there that are just thumbnails but these are large and readable.

And none accomplish what they claim.

Pretty sure that's not just something random but k.

yeah lmfao I was thinking that too

This is a very emotional piece i can relate to ._.

A beautifull piece depecting the harsh reality of those presuming and pretending to be your friend... who step onto your very soul and heart, whilst putting up fake appearances of what they truly are. Illustrated in a sad and touching setting.

Wish I could help.

No one drop responsible for the flood. :(

Oh dear. Seems like you're having a hard time here.
Take a step back from this website/fandom if you need to. Never forget that YOUR health is more important than pleasing a bunch of people you'll never meet.

Oh oh no you ok?

is sad but is how it work ...

Gol dang soul sucking emoticons.

Pornmaker's job can be compared to the of a butcher's or mortician. There is that constant tension to quench the urge to treat characters and personalities by only which they represent visually, to deny the essence and dignity. Quenching that urge is essential to most of us, but not all the time. A pornmaker doesn't have the comfort of leaving own personality and fantasies before going to work. Such a man is both the victim and the aggressor, prey and predator. Ying and yang, forever chasing their tails.

Ahh yes, the ol' Reddit "if anyone talks intelligently, they must be faking it just for attention" stuff. Why can't that just stay on Reddit?

>Trying to sound smart even though nobody will read it

You could've made that a lot simpler man

It's not exactly hard to make a sepparate account for personal art

chill

People will drain your soul. Become a ghost.

Welcome to my world... again, I guess.

Whatever the hurt and pain is, may all be well with you as you recover.

This made me sad. :c

Oh my, his face is just like, "What happened?"

what the ... ? o.O'
....

Don't let people pick away at it. Even if there's no one around for you to give it to, you can still use it to love yourself :c

:_:

Are you ok!?!?! ;~; Im here if you wanna talk <3

As long as there's a piece left, then hopefully at least one person will be there to nurture it.

Oh that's so sad

look, heartbreak happens, more often than it should. but dont let one person ruin it for you.

you dont wanna be like me, cynical towards love. give yourself some you time, do things for yourself, and if a relationship is something you REALLY want, well try again. thats all you can do really

people suck. emotions suck. but its part of being human.

this is more about friends. and i wish i could say it's only been one or two.

oh it happens more with friends. ive had tons of people i thought were friends just drop me like i was nothing. friends come and go, and the truely good friends will always be there for you.

just keep your head up and take it easy

I understand the feeling. There are so many people who call themselves friends, who take what they can from you, lean on you for comfort, rely on you, and then when you need them most, they fail you. It's hard, so very hard, to learn the lesson that there are few people who are selfless enough to reciprocate what you give them. Sometimes it's only one person. And you must hold on to that person and take care of them as they do for you, because you are probably the one true friend they have, as well.

Take care.

Friends are assholes theese days, but there's a bright spot to it: In situation like thov, they reveal faces, hiding behind paper emoticons.


At least you can always count on us - bunch of random strangers on the internet *broshoulderbump*

Sorry you hurt.. There are so many out there that are cruel, petty, cheap.. But, it's the ones we care for, the ones we let inside our defenses, that can truly hurt us..pick away directly at our heart and soul..and intentionally or no, hollow us out until there's nothing left.. But, then, there are those who help fill us back up again.. I hope you can find the ones that will help put your heart back together, if you're alone, it's awful hard to do by yourself..

... is it related to the internet and people you know from there? guessing from the picture the people behind you represents the anonymous mass of the internet hidden behind fake faces where they only care about your work or something from you and not you itself. ... or i got it completely wrong and sound like one of those other people who think they know whats going on.

I'm sorry to hear, but I know how ya feel. If you ever need someone to talk to or a friend you can count on, feel free to hit me up man

-gives the hugs-

Awww... so sad... I hope you're okay...

Ah, I think we've all experienced this at one time or another in our lives

I hope you start feeling better hun t.t

Hope your ok *hugs* we're here for you

Hope things are alright, hun!

Story of my life this year...

:(

*hugs tight*
I know how that feels, hope everything will get better sooner than later. :c

Get yer SCUBA gear, kids. This one's deep.

Powerful piece. You always know who your true friends are when they support you come what may. As for relationships, we've all been through heartbreak where we thought it would never mend but we can only hope that it will in time

Goodness! I hope your okay Zaush! :(

At first I was confused and thought those were Mr. Meeseeks

:c *hugs tight*

Aaww...*Hugs you*

You can have mine if you want...

awww D: what happend D:

Oh noes! D: *hugs and gives you a piece of my heart* ^^

Phenomenal piece. You used your whole heart and soul to make this and it shows. Keep moving forward!

WELP, the internet dun fucked up, time to burn it down

;3

awww poor boy :/ even thought the subject is sad the picture is really great
I like the idea a lot *hug*

I... I never wished for you to feel this way, but I won't repress your own feelings that need to be felt. If this helps you to feel better, then take your time

hmmm... wow this really has a lot of emotion put into it, and i can kinda see of what it might mean, but not sure. i really like the thought and meaning behind this artwork. nicework

People come, and people go, sometimes its hard not to get too attached to someone and we overlook some things, and after a while we realize maybe they were not that friendly at all. Depends really on a lot of facts. Yes, it hurts, but just dont let it get into you.

Family, friends, and other people who don't even realise their cancerous nature.
Break them.

Hang in there critter

Well that kicked me in the throat pretty hard. I have had those kind of experiences..

Even don't know, what I could say. This is sad, but I like it very much.
Think it is one of the most true artworks here on FA
Sorry for the way I wrote this. My English sux, but I couldn't leave it without comment.
Take care.

Everyone basically mirrored my thoughts. I would say now, very metaphoric, with lots of layers of meaning and thought.

...wow...
this is powerful

Unfortunately, sometimes the tallest trees catch the most wind.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

*scurries around picking up the pieces*

(duct-tapes them back together and super-glues them back where they belong)

(GUARDS the heart)

Many are hiding behind a mask ( nice job on tiny reveal on the far right) to "fake-believe" their true self. Forming mobs to rush in to get theirs and fast tracking over the artist's heart. Mindless, faceless....nothings. Very excellent work, vibrant reds to convey angst or frustration...cyanic blues for cold electronics. I absolutely love the "sketched" outlines and simple colored brush strokes yet the message is deep and meaningful.

Unfortunately these coded texts usually fails to convey emotions, and words from strangers can merit little value. However, I sincerely am appreciative that you created this image.

I see someone's been to Lulz again. Stay away from that pit.

Everyone around keeps saying "it's gon be aight mang" and "hold tight yo". Everyone's so cheerful with their love and friendship stories it began to almost look like mocking, or as if we're living in different universes.
In reality though, everything seems to be getting progressively worse despite all the cheerful shit.

I might be disgusted by this entire existence, but more than anything I became disgusted of what I am. I'd recommend you not to fall down this pit, because it looks like it's impossible to crawl out.

Fucking life, man. Whatever it is, it better end soon because I'm too much of a pussy to quicken it up.
There's no good reason to be tortured with it either way.

That's the kind of support that makes a difference. 'Don't turn into me, you can be so much better' speeches are what really count.

Dang, what an interesting piece. The emotion behind it may not be a pleasant one, but I do like the way you've done it.

Hey PUT THAT BACK he needs that! >:[ had a feeling this was more friendship related.
If I had to guess... Feeling like everyone wants to be your friend only because you're... Well let's face it, very well known?

Powerful and understable.

So just stabbing in the dark but fuck it. I don't know who you are but it you wanna vent feel free. I don't care if your some popular artist your human so whatever.

Hmm.

Me and my fiance feel this way sometimes. But there is always that one that sticks around. We really have no one to call a true friend. And all our ill friends are separated. Doing their own thing. So I can relate to this. All you can do is be there, or be lonely. I'm sorry you're going through such. I hope there is a friend out there for you. Which I'm sure there is.

*Hugs you very tightly* I think you summed up my situation exactly, as well. ;_;

*Zelda low health beeping* I think its time to start chopping some grass and throwing rocks around to find some more hearts

How could you possibly have spent hours (days?) working on this piece without going mad?


Oh Happiness thou art an elusive chimera who beguiles us into believing in Forever.

Whatever happed i hope you are okay.

I can relate to this very much.

Best wishes in your journey through life.

Ouccchhhhhhhhh.... Very powerful image. Such raw emotion depicted in this image, the anonymous hidden cold creatures viciously breaking hearts, literally. Very nice depicted image of how much thoughtless commenting and mindless play with someone can severely hurt to the core.

Aint this like undertale or something?

yeah, I think it is too

Like peeps throwing hugs and I'm sitting here like "Undertale"

art like this is allways open to interpretation, weather the awnswer be psyicalogical, or simple, is simply up to the person in question

*hugs you*

From the thumbnail i first thought about something undertale related. But seeing the picture full sized i now understand. It's actually something i can understand pretty well as i feel like that for quite a few years too.

D:

It is interesting how once you get fleas on your ass in this fandom you can never remove them, ever.

Best I can say, learn from the past and try not to repeat.

Many cruel people in the world that cant see for what you are but only with the stuff you're good at and manipulate you and use you for their own personal gains.. I have a feeling this is the issue but ive always been bad deciphering v~v

Stay strong Zaush, dont let shit get to you

(gives yea heart pieces.)

:3

No *hug tight* we love u so much

2deep

Broken hearts are the last thing that cheers me up.

Nuuuu, you got to stay determined

I've been waiting for someone to say something like that.

Thank you for satisfying my anticipation.

Oh, No!

-Hugs- ♥

I know the feeling...

Here's hoping he can pull energy from the thrall that actually do support and respect him, like you were. Being a 'nice guy' sucks sometimes, man.

If this is not just a picture... Don't let the faceless come near you. Just don't. Look for someone who feels the same.

I know I'm just another one of all these anonymous internet types out here. I know I can't possibly say or do anything to help you. Just want you to know that your art here really resonates with me and I'm infinitely sympathetic to what you're feeling right now.

I hope things improve.

Thats deep

This is why you don't stream on twitch

Careless little imps, aren't they? And so identical behind their little masks. The internet is flooded with them.

Ouch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJb7cBfrxbo

Fuck 'em. Be strong, man.
For every one of those assholes, there's a bunch of folks out here who do care... Even if we don't know each other. *Hugs*

Oh geez. ;w; <3... Rrf...

Please keep hope.

I know after so many times of being hurt, you have a hard time telling whether someone is genuine or not when they approach you. When someone actually DOES treat you the way a friend should be treated you begin to be paranoid about their endgame.

This is the first time I've commented on your art. This particular piece, though, resonates with me. When I was younger I used to have this little vision in my head of me holding a jewel that was my heart at a marketplace where people would look at it, look at me, and just when I began to smile they would keep walking. And then when someone would notice, and hold it, they would scratch it or throw it away. And yet there I was day after day, in that little marketplace in my head, hoping someone would notice the jewel that I held.

Faceless people. Passersby.

We are careless on purpose.

I totally get the intention behind this art, and I have to say its honestly one of the reasons I dont get personal with anyone anymore on FA or on the internet really anymore. people have hurt me too often, though I still get easilly manipulated--Its better to be lonely than deal with all the other shit people pull. I have a few friends IRL and thats good enough. Feel better dood.

Emotional and great work.

Many people show their daily masks to you during life. Only the real friends and family show their real faces behind these masks to you!

Never give up to find the real faces.

thats quite amazing picture

:D

Very artistic and it speaks so much.

I know how you feel.
If that means anything coming from a total stranger anyways.

If there was supposed to be evidence that the fandom has its own support network and love for its own community, this comments section certainly captures it.

Soul locusts.

I feel this way. Too bad I didn't find a decent person to give my heart to until every last piece had been stolen and broken already.

That's too sad TT_TT

DETERMINATION.

awww :c *gives you a heart*

this says a lot

Looks like those Okami monsters.

Fav-ing for the emotion. I hope all is well or heals in its proper time.

i know how he feels

people taking his drawings and dont say thank you or something

people dont thinking how much time he spent to make the drawings

most people thinking its easy to be a artist but the truth is its not easy

a artist dont use magic he dont shakes his paw and all the yiffy porn comes out of his sleeve

i know my english is bad but i want to say thank you Zaush thank you for the great drawings you make thank you that you spending hours over hours to make those drawings i thank you for everything what you have done for us

i hope you get better dude *hugs*

-hug- I'm sorry hun

Its easy and noncommital to be friends over texting/skype. you can project emotion onto simple words or say just the right thing to make someone feel better without meaning it. and once someone stops being of use to you you can easily cut them out of your life and it doesnt affect them in a huge way. From my experience, most things on the internet are transient and i wouldn't get too attached to any particular person or website. intangible friends dont really have your back. The net has made us all numb to how we treat others.

At first I thought it was Undertale related, but it seems not.

Dunno what's up, but we've known each other a long time. You're always welcome to talk to me about stuff. o.o

I completely understand this feeling... Family, friends, relationships...

I really like this piece, it's simple yet powerful.

I can also sympathize with having but an outline of heart, hard to give or be taken from if you no longer have anything in that department.

Though that doesn't make metaphorically having a heart impossible, it does make it immensely more difficult.

Also, just because something is "awful" doesn't mean there is pretense behind the creator, as correlation and causation are quite different.

So I won't assume there is something equally terrible happening personally as most of the comments here are, but if it is true, I can see the sympathies are well sent from much more credible sources.

Have a nice day!

I... Damn...

I know how you feel alright. People are just shit sometimes, hun.
it's their loss anyways

In all honesty, I don't even know what to say. There are well over a thousand words to say for this, but none of them want to come out.

Heart level at 15%

Still enough to beat Asriel!

Damn, those Black Friday mobs are ruthless

Life often bites, I know this from personal experience. But we pick ourselves up and continue walking along. It's the best we can do. Sometimes we are lucky enough to have support to lean on, strong friends, a passionate hobby, or simply some sympathetic person willing to lend an ear. Like those of us here. Whatever befell you to render this art piece, let me say this. I am going to favorite it, for all the times I felt like this, for personal pains near and far off in the future, and for the strong emotion portrayed in a beautifully heart-rending style. Thank you for sharing this with us, now lets get started picking up those broken pieces and putting together a beautiful mosaic ^^.

I don't know what's going on and I probably never will, but I hope things will get better for you <3

this comment section sure is a
HOOT

..?

I'd give you a hug if I could man

;n;

Coming here and asking : Are u okaaay?? Is like asking someone who just had a carcrush and bleeding- Are u huuurt?
Of course not!
*hit happens. People are too complicated to have it all flow so easy.
But nobody have died from that.
So I wish you a quick recovery- some things are getting meanless by the time.
Smoochies

Wish I knew you from more than making jokes at you on twitter so I could give you a proper hug. I hate seeing people I like in pain D:

Welcom to club.

I knew that feeling. Just don't search for love. It is always best to let it occur naturally. Love is a mystical force and it will come again. Don't forget your friends. Love comes in all shapes and forms. <3

I know how this feels...

I've found this to be soothing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWJ8rTDwKkY

a quote from it
"I'm not going to tell you to snap out of it. I'm not going to tell you it gets better, I don't know that. I'm not even asking you to leave the dark place. As a matter of fact I'm going to join you there. I'll sing for you if you'll listen, and I'll listen if you feel like singing."

Feh, who needs hearts anyway?

Not sure if you wrote that in a sarcastic manner or not. Either way, your comment sounds very inappropriate

I'm entitled to my opinion, just as much as you're entitled to yours. If the artist doesn't like it, he can say something about it. This is the internet and if you don't like "Inappropriate" things you shouldn't use the internet.

The heart is a matter of the highest importance, but at the same time one of the hardest things to keep safe.
When you keep your heart open to those around you, false friends and kind words can leave you vulnerable to have you heart broken, and your compassion abused.
But when you keep your heart closed, you lose that chance that of the all liars and false friends, you will find a real friend. Someone you can tell your secrets and know they will be safe. Someone who you know will be there for you.

I know it is something scarring. Something hurtful and cruel when you lose a friend, or when one you thought was close was using you or didn't care... But not everyone is like that. Hundreds of comments, most reaching out with kind and comforting words. Most of us have never spoken to you, and have never heard from you outside of FA, but we still hold out our arms and ask you to take solace in our words. It almost seems like the whole thing may be repeating itself, starting with kind words. But we aren't all like that, many of us care without speaking. Console without talking.

Your friends, your real friends. Keep them close, and never let go. You shouldn't have to worry about someone stepping on part of your heart, because a real friend will be right there to replace it with part of theirs.

Very deep pic...

I know it sounds kind of cliche and cheesy but; anyone who would do this was never really a true friend and frankly, you're probably better off without them. Most people have very few friends that truly endure. Hell, i lost a good 25% of my friends just going into high school. It may not seem like it now, but this is a good thing. Dropping baggage is just part of your journey through life, and just like dropping real baggage, it will make that journey a hell of a lot easier. We're all crying with you Adam. We live you buddy.

I need to start being more thoughtful towards my friends. I don't have many. I've just been so busy getting my life together. I've been too focused on me. But it's looking up, so I hope I can start spending more time with them. Though I doubt anyone will actually read this, and it's the same as the 2 million comments above me, good luck Zaush, and anyone having these problems.

Aw look at all the sweeties up there ;v;

Completely unrelated - DIS SOME PROCREATE BRO?

.

Yeah but you're totally using your heart! Punch those fuckers right in the dick! D:<

That being said, have a hug. I love the way you draw floofs and you've got a great sentimental streak in your art that's hard to replicate for others. It's especially well demonstrated here. Chin up, buttercup.

Aw that's sad

Reasons like this are why I chose a long time ago I liked not having people close to me. Hey, everything'll work out, man. You got a whole community of people who respect you; shit like this is merely a consequence of being a good-natured person.

This is a parody right?

People will take and take till you have nothing left. it's true but no matter what friends you have, close or distant, there will always be the few that hold on tight and take very good care of the small piece that you gave them. Over time it is possible to re-fill that little space in your chest and some times top it off completely till you can't hold in your feels and they coming bursting out. that's the love given from others.
Some will tread all over the little chunk you gave and they won't see how they hurt it till it's to late. Or worse yet, they didn't really care in the first place, Try not to hate but just let go of anyone who's careless with what you give. Be patient with the rest and give it time to rest, your Heart container will refill in time.

Love the pic!c!!! it's so touching and deep yet silly and whimsical at the same time it's going up as my back ground for many reasons. but most of all just as a reminder that I have some close friends out there that never let go of the little pieces we exchanged long ago.

Thank you for sharing this.

Piece by piece your passion is gradually being stripped away by the anonymous masked trolls. Demanding more and more to satisfy their greedy insatiable void. Treating you as a mere commodity rather than a living embodiment of pure spirit. Through polluted channels you will meet polluted faces.
This world is a giant energy field of what you put out you will most assuredly get back.
If the road gets tiresome, then cut out all the negativity. Transform your art into something pure and sacred. Do not take any shit from anyone not even me. All we can do is offer criticism, opinions, suggestions, insults. We are the exterior forces that manifest on the outer planes of life. What does the inner voice say to you? The true authentic voice that has been warning you, guiding you, teaching you, and loving you.
One day when you wake up and so decide to make improvements in your life and cut ties with anything or anyone holding you back and making your heart ache; you will be looking back and smiling knowing you certainly do have the strength and power.
Do what you do in the name of LOVE not for competitive consumerism. You arenot a object here to impress your a free spirit that is beyond sex. You are made of love. Begine to find ways to channel and define that love. Think of all those that makes you YOU and capture that in a painting. Surround yourself with those memories because in the end it is all we truly have.

Im not sure what you are goin through, but this picture is beautifully done
i hope you are doing alright.

Get glue

Hey man, although you probably don't know many of us very well, if at all, just remember that we're here for you. I know the feeling and it sucks, i've just went through problems with friends as well. This may or may not help you, but I just try to brush off those that hurt me as you've depicted them here. On top of that, I hold on even tighter to those precious few who have been there for me through thick and through thin, for those people are the hardest to find. I don't know whether or not you've found anybody like this, but just remember that they are out there, and although it may seem difficult to find them, sometimes it is because you're looking to hard. Hang in there and remember, we're here for you.

aw..

excellent piece.

There is one thing that you should keep in mind and remember. There is always more heart. Partners come and go, always taking some with them, yet again, when you meet that special someone, there will be enough for him/her. It always hurts when someone rips a part of it, but time will heal and after a while the good memories will stay and those bad will weaken. And one more thing. Every loss in our life helps us to know appreciate what we have / what we get in the future. Not sure if you would appreciate a hug or not, but if you do, then *hug* from me. If not, ignore it and take care!

;w; awwwr...

Vent art! Totally want context. It's driving me bonkers.

Awww =< *hugs* I hope you feel better hun. If ya need to air your personal life to a complete stranger on the internet then I'm always here X3 <3

*sends a warm hug* I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I hope you can find friends who like you for who you are, not what you can do.

Whatever the reasons behind this piece, I hope you know there are a great deal of people who appreciate you very much.

*hugs*
*gives a cookie*
*hugs some more*

*Gives you a piece of my heart*

You can keep that piece Zaush. I have plenty to give *chuckles* I'll see you soon with a piece of work of my own...

A very deep piece. Hope you're feeling better soon man

:/

Dang... I'm sorry that you to keep going through this.

Life's cruel grasp is like that, Zaush. You keep feeling the sensation of falling into a deep spiral of darkness but don't give up. No matter the amount of being pushed down and kicked to the side, you'll always stand again and face the world. No matter how hard the pain and anguish, you can still find happiness. So let the tears flow as tomorrow is a new day.

Yeah, I know I may be a bit of a naive high school student to how the world works in some cases, but I still hold hope and can keep facing the world.

You have no idea how much this is resonating with me right now man.

I know you won't read this among all the comments, but I clearly understood the message.
Even with my username's reminder I still fight with that.

And no, I won't tell you anything else like others because I'm just a simple guy.

But I wish the best for you...

I began to resign myself to the possibility that I would never find a life partner, so I began making an effort to surround myself with good friends. I tell you, I'm better off for it. Life is all about the interactions you have with other people, and what is friendship but another kind of love? I would gladly be your friend if you need one. :3

The people that brought me to feel this way were in fact close friends

I've been there myself, man. Believe me. As a disabled person I became so used to people just stabbing me in the back, or using me to get something.

It takes a while, but eventually you learn who is and who isn't worth keeping in your life. It isn't easy, but once you move on from the ones who would hold you back, things start to get a little better.

you know . i don't want to sound like that guy but
i fell like i am seeing myself being that puppie

*Huggles....* That feeling's never fun...

:(

let me take one

many positive and not so positive comments here. I am sorry to hear things are not looking so good Zaush! *Swat at the specters and piece thieves, collecting as many as can be found then putting them back as best I can. Hugging you then tightly to keep them in place* The feeling depicted or at least what I think is the feeling shown, is never fun as said above. Loved ones, and yes friends are loved ones in many senses of the phrase, affect the heart so deeply. Sometimes without realizing the affect is occurring even. I don't know the circumstances leading to the feelings in your case Zaush, that is your business and should only be shared if you choose it to be. All I can really do or say is, hang in there, I wish for you a speedy recovery and better moods for the future. You are an amazing person and many of us care about you. varying degrees of course but we still do. *wraps you in wings to keep the piece thieves away*

That's why you need to be heartless to remain sane.

thats so sad.. once someone told me that "artists in fandom can't have friends" :c sometimes I think thats unfortunetly true.

Artists, Musicians, Storywriters, and basically most people with entertainment skills have a hard time/ troubles with having an inner circle of friends or people to go back to. I truly wish I had an answer for such a thing. For me which is sad, sometimes just doing things by and for myself somewhat helps but only feeds more into insanity which even that has a limit. not to sound corny/cheesy, but stay strong, diligent, and yes (DETERMINED)...

You'll find a break point soon, and that will change things around for the best.

Just look at all those comments! Surely the sheer number of people who care enough to say something must give you some measure of comfort!
... Ive been here too, so I sympathize with whatever made you feel this way. Cheer up matey

ohh well not thats clever imagine, so true , plus i like how the smiley faces hint anoymity while the center figure is unique , clever idea even if sad

*licks yer face* Wuffy licks are heart glue. ^.^

Well if you want friends and not trolls , Sometimes one has to admit to their mistakes for that to even happen again. And to actually find honest people and not full of them selves assholes.

Frankly I'm surprised
Sometimes you forget there are tough-looking people that may deal with same problems most people do.
Whatever happens, the best you can do is learn a lesson and keep on going, man. Don't hold onto it for too long and get back to looking for your happiness.

Feels but you know...live on :) unplug the computer

Everithing is goin to be ok

well i know this falls as kind of "person #23451435 said this" but

real friends last forever, and have your back when ever you need them. there are a ton of us who watch and follow you that wouldn't mind lending an ear and just letting you vent.

again, random fan again but still we do listen, the one's that care are always here

Eh, I can feel the heartache and sadness even through this digital interface into the world.

*hugs* I have no idea who those anonymous jerks are, but I want to kick them in their face masks for making you feel like that.

They aren't anonymous, these represent friends in my life who have proven to be something else. I don't want to make this about individuals though.

The drawing explains by itself. I feel bad that all those you cosnidered your friends, cared so little about your feelings. I hope you are not going trought much Zaush; sadly there is not much a stranger can do for you so the least I can say is to not give up. Consider yourself some time by yourself and think about those who still cares about you. I know it is easy to say, but it should make you feel better.

awwwww this is really sad.

*tries to fold all pieces together* ;n;

So very sad.
But don't let the demons of the past or present destroy you, ,
As long as you can cry, you have a soul and a heart!
Use it for good, Use it to lift up and not tear down.
Don't let the demons win!
I'll be prayin' for you. <:)
*hugs*

rofl

I know this feeling.
But it must be really hard too, to be an famous artist and searching for "true" friends.

Hope you feeling better now.

I know this piece has been here for a bit but, It really resonates with me. For my two cents, and for what that is worth. The one you're looking for, is the one that puts a little something back every day.

SO VAGUE

i know the feeling

welcome to the Internet!

this is just horrid...

great work on the piece, I enjoy the use of dark colors around a cute character, it really helps set the mood and message behind it

;3

I'm conflicted on whether those things around you are the women you have creeped on or are people you consider to be friends.
Huh.
